Chindori chininga biography

Zimbabweans reacted with shock following the car crash that claimed the life of respected Guruve South MP and former minister of mines, Edward Chindori-Chininga. Within hours of the announcement of his death Wednesday night, social media and other forums were abuzz with thousands expressing emotions varying from grief, devastation to anger.

Despite being a Zanu PF official, Chindori-Chininga appeared to have made friends in various political and social circles. But perhaps it was his open-mindedness and sense of co-operation that led to the love-hate relationship between him and fellow Zanu Pf officials. He recently courted controversy after the production of a damning report that highlighted gross transparency and accountability irregularities in the mining of the Marange Diamonds.

Edward Takaruza Chindori-Chininga (March 14, – June 19, ) was a Zimbabwean politician.

Zanu PF has maintained a stranglehold on the diamond mining activities in Marange and there are allegations that revenue collection from diamond sales is being manipulated to the benefit of Zanu PF. Chindori-Chininga was not new to political storms as in , he was reportedly involved in a near fist fight with the Zanu PF co-chairperson of the then Copac, Paul Mangwana.

Immediately after his ouster from Copac, there was a reported plot to ouster him from Zanu PF. Other allegations levelled against Chindori-Chininga by his party include de-campaigning President Robert Mugabe and supporting Mavambo Kusile Dawn leader Simba Makoni in the harmonised elections.
